    Second service

    I'm sold. I'll check my book to see exactly when it needs doing! Instead of genuine service parts could I get the better fluids instead if it makes a difference or maybe I've just spend a couple too many hours on YouTube. Also I missed out on stokeys second hand turbo so do yourselvrs ever have used forced intake kits available for sale at a reduced cost I'm not too fussed on whether it's a turbo or supercharger as long as it's kinder on my pockets!

    i cant pay more than 2000 since that was what i let the last one slip through my fingers at! Is this the same kit thats £4500 new and fitted? how much did you get quoted to fit your turbo

    Will definitely add more speed than s turbo! But like I said I got like 28 peices painted I don't think you can get all of them on Taobao and it works out about 25£ an item to get painted. Considering slot of them are very small it's a bit of s piss take but I wanted all the dial surround and steering surround so I deemed it worth it! I'm staying N/A I've decided well hopefully your manifold the 3'' avo front pipe and overpipe I've bought combined with a map will do wonders!
  12. Some of you guys said it's okay for a slight protrusion but the law is if you look down from above the arch and can see tyre tread then it's illegal and can be cause for MOT failure. It's essentially to stop your tyre tread from ripping someone's flesh of the bone if you clip them with yor wing as they will likely bounce off the wing instead of hitting the tyre tread, pretty sure it's based off a few isolated cases which shouldn't precedent over the vast majority of motoring deaths but such is the law. I know someone who got 3 points for tyre tread protruding a few mm from the arch. You are allowed 30mm of poke but no tread whatsoever, this is calculated from the top looking directly down at the arch. It likely wouldn't be checked during an mot if the poke was slight. However if the police stop you for good reason and notice it they will likely give you 3 points and a fine and 7 days to fix it. I'd say just fit stretched tyres that have no tread In the poke to make it fully legal. It's not worth the potential 3 points and a fine. Also traffic cops might stop you just for wheels with poke to check if there is tread and have seen people complain about this on other forums. Some who got 3 points for tread in the poke and some with very stretched tyres that were legal as no tread was showing and just got stopped for that reason a couple times. I just thought I'd say this so everyone knows as I'm sure you have a good chance of getting away with it forever depending on where and how and how much you drive. But I don't want anyone to think it's completely fine then end up with 3 points and a fine. The more you know!

    Today I installed the valenti lights from speedline they marked it at 50% value so parcel force didn't quite fully penetrate me. Also put a new shift knob in and the funky orange covers for the buttons (they just slide over and are the perfect amount of snug to work and don't scratch the buttons so was surprised as its just Chinese tat. Also dressed the engine up with some orange pulley covers. The lights look so much better than the picture. Lots more bits to do in the coming weeks, the reg lights on the back are insanely bright that i fitted and you can see the line on the ground that follows me around.
  14. How much do they weigh and how many mm of tread?

    Actually when I called fensport to inquire the installation and map the guy seemed to think it was a bit special of me to have 4 different aftermarket parts and said it will likely have some fitment issues but they would be able to solve it most likely, I did originally plan to put it in myself as it's not like it's moving parts or anything but if I shear a bolt I'm foooked so I decided against it

    Think my cars about to be almost as loud as yours, hks decat el manifold, someone's 2.5'' custom made overpipe that I'm sure is just as good as any 200£ overpipe! And a 3'' avo front pipe decat to the tomei type 80. Everything includkng the exhaust cost me 1000 dead so I'm happy with the bang for the buck factor!

    There's a Tesco near me and I'm sure it's 97 Ron but I'm pretty sure it's momentum?

    i think it was mostly becuase of narrow streets with tall terraced houses amplifying the noise, like 1/4 of the effect of a tunnel and the exit being on the left side where the cars are

    Fensport Ecutek Remap

    I'm thinking that way! So it might have to become part of my routine, I set two car alarms off today with the tomei type 80 getting up to speed gently in a closed in terraced lane and I've still got the rest of the decat piping to go in yet, Jesus 😂😂 but 97 vs99 what's better?

    Supposedly you get better mpg from the best fuel for your car anyway that makes up for the cost increase and this is true for many cars so I've been told. I'd choose to agree with it to justify the better fuel anyway haha

    Close to me is 97 and 99 Ron fuel the shell is in town 20 mins away so I only go when nearby what's better in the absence of shell
